Unlike some other color charts, this one includes no repeated colors when printed. My chart has colors selected and arranged to print in organized progressions of hue, tint, shade, and/or tone, and there are 965 distinct colors when printed on Spoonflower's quilting cotton.
Each color sample is .5" x 1.25" / 13mm x 32mm, and the chart is 36" x 40".
With the wide range of good-sized color chips on this well-organized chart, a designer can easily find the desired colors for highlights, midtones, and shadows; can see the differences between warm and cool colors; and can choose from a wide variety of pastels, neutrals, and bright colors.
Each color has its hexadecimal color code listed below it. Most image editing software can accept hex color codes. If yours does not, there are many websites that will convert them into RGB, LAB, or CMYK.
How this chart was made: I started with free-ware color charts as guides (including one I had printed on fabric) and culled hundreds of virtually identical colors right on my computer. I then had the 2850 remaining color samples printed on Spoonflower quilting cotton. Even with all of the preliminary culling I did, many of the colors in a given color range printed as the same color, so I cut out all of the swatches, sorted them, and ended up with 965 distinct colors (including white, grays, and black) which I then arranged to create organized progressions of hue, tint, shade, and/or tone when printed on the quilting cotton. Some or all of the colors may print differently on other fabrics. I suggest purchasing the chart on the fabric you use most, or on each fabric you use.
NOTES:
Many of these colors will print similarly to how they appear on a properly calibrated computer monitor, but others may print very differently than they appear on a computer monitor. This chart is intended to give people the greatest possible range of color choices for their designs. Some designs created with these colors may not display accurately on a computer monitor due to the screen colors not matching the printed colors.
I checked this chart carefully for errors, however, the purchaser agrees that I will not be held liable for any problems that arise from errors that may remain.
